God is comfortable with diversity
God sees straight
As well as crooked
Black as well as blue
God recognizes
And appreciates each of us
Who walk on earth
Think of another world
Where judging others
Rules the day
What does it look like,
Look around you
It looks like today’s world
Might perceptions change
Where people see each others
With total wholeness
Respecting others
While dropping away
The compulsion
To categorize
Might perceptions change
Might people view others
With wide-eyes
Accepting crooked and straight
Black as well as blue
And become comfortable with diversity

God is comfortable with diversity
God sees straight
As well as crooked
Black as well as blue
God recognizes
And appreciates each of us
Who walk on earth
Think of another world
Where judging others
Rules the day
What does it look like,
Look around you
It looks like today’s world
Might perceptions change
Where people see each others
With total wholeness
Respecting others
While dropping away
The compulsion
To categorize
Might perceptions change
Might people view others
With wide-eyes
Accepting crooked and straight
Black as well as blue
And become comfortable with diversity
